Customer Callback Example API

Suggest Edits

Overview

Due to the long-running nature of the Coverage Discovery process, all concluded task responses will be communicated asynchronously via the Customer's supplied callback url that must be whitelisted by Optum. Therefore,* if enrolled in Coverage Discovery*, the customer must build a Callback API with OAuth2 authentication in order to receive task responses.

Pre-Requisites

  • From Onboarding:
    • Enrollment in Coverage Discovery
    • Whitelisted OAuth2 token endpoint
    • Whitelisted Callback API endpoint
  • From Customer:
    • API Credentials ( client_id, client_secret), generated to authorize with the Whitelisted OAuth2 token endpoint

Postman Collection Example

The below Customer Callback Example collection serves as a reference callback API to which Coverage Discovery will send asynchronous responses. Once your Callback API has been built, this collection may also serve to test your API's functionality and ensure that mock requests have successfully been accepted.

Setup

  1. Download Postman(if applicable) and open the app.
  2. Go to your appropriate Workspace and navigate to the Collections tab. Click Import.

    📘

    Click for Postman's instructions on Importing.

  3. Copy the collection.json below and paste into the Paste raw text box under the Raw Text option.

Select the `Customer Callback API ENV Example` environment, following instructions from Postman [here](https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/environments/managing-environments/#switch-between-environments).\n    1.  Once this environment has been selected, the variable values set in Setup #3 will populate.\n2.  Execute the `Customer Callback Example - Task Pending (First Response)`POST request.\n3.

Step 9

  1. Navigate to the newly imported "Customer Callback API ENV Example". Enter your own values for the following variables in CURRENT_VALUE and save the changes:

    2. whitelisted_callback_url
    3. client_id
    4. client_secret

👍

You are now set up to authenticate and execute requests!

Execute Requests

  1. Navigate back to the Customer Callback Example API collection.
  2. Select the Customer Callback API ENV Example environment, following instructions from Postman here. Once this environment has been selected, the variable values (set in step #10) will populate.
  3. First, authenticate with your OAuth2 endpoint by executing the Customer Auth Endpoint ExamplePOST request. The bearer token will automatically be added to the subsequent calls to your Callback API.
  4. Next, execute the Customer Callback Example - Task Pending (First Response) POST request. The request body includes mock data, mimicking an example synchronous response.
  5. Finally, execute the Customer Callback Example - Task Concluded (Final Response) POST request that will update the originally created record from #5 and conclude the pending task.
